This incident highlights the usefulness of dual suspension for bike
bombers:

Evidently it is unwise to depend on the civil authorities of Punjab to
maintain their roads in good condition. For other aspiring bike
bombers may I suggest the smooth pavements of Phoenix, Arizona and
Orlando, Florida.

No, it was a bike bomb not as in "pipe bomb", but rather as in "donkey

Maybe there is something in this suspension fad after all
Still they'd all be alive and merrily planting explosives, if they had
been wearing helmets :)

Before I opened the article, I was thinking they'd packed part of the
frame with explosives or some such.
Perhaps they should have obtained the services of a more adept chemist.

Nasty stuff improvised explosives. I suppose it's no surprise the
people who make them are rarely the ones who use them.

Those should probably be included in the Wikipedia entry for "poetic
justice".

self-detonating in one of the moon-crater pot holes.
